Many of you remember in December just before Christmas we received a black lab puppy that became part of our family. I just thought you might like to see the change now that Abby just turned 6 months old.
She is now taller than Whitney our Golden Retriever/Husky/Coyote mix.
Whitney and Abby are totally bonded and get along perfectly we couldn’t be more pleased.
We’ve had so many comments on how beautiful Abby looks, even our vet who used to judge AKC dog shows told us she was one of the nicest black labs he’s ever seen.
Although not to say it’s been an easy go with the pup. If she can get something into her mouth she will eat it. Including most of Barbs rose bushes thorns and all, any and all bushes and 90% of the drip system that waters them. Fortunately she hasn’t touched a thing in the house except her toys and playing with Whitney.
Finally got the yard Abby proofed and the drip system restored, even had to move the hundred pound cement bird bath which she knocked over twice.
She is totally fearless isn’t afraid of anything and shows no sign of settling down yet. She attacks the vacuum cleaner, my shop vac, loves to play in the water if I have the hose out. Keeps all the ducks out of the yard (we call all birds ducks) If I see a bird on the block wall getting ready to take a dump on one of my grills. I just say “get the ducks” and she goes flying outside and chases them off.
I’m guessing 6-12 more months of puppy antics before she starts to settle down some. Can’t wait to see what she gets into next.
